The title of this article is misleading. It makes it sound like these people are being punished for taking, well, abandoned goods. The article itself is interesting, but the title is dreadful. It almost sounds like it came from a different story entirely. "A GPS Experiment Tracks Curb Miners" would have been appropriate.

Almost there, Digits. Don't give up.

It should be "act MORE QUICKLY," not "act quicker." If the WSJ can't use proper grammar, who will?

I read this same article on http://www.tracking-system.com/ about a month ago. Interesting publicity stunt, but I do not see how GPS tracking and custom chairs really go together...

"Curb Mining?" So basically these people go through other people's trash looking for things that they can clean up and either use in their house (gross) or sell on eBay? I knew of a guy who did this... he would drive around and go through people's trash in the middle of the night... although he worked for the Sanitation department and it was his job!

Oh, and to be a grammar Nazi - REAL GOOD Experiment?? Gah!

Ok, the title was incorrect, the "Real Good" title was meant to be funny.
How about some comments pertaining to the experiment and findings?
I think from a marketing perspective this was well done - and obviously was done light-heartedly.
And the filming was hilarious.

Grammar Nazis - "get" a life (yes, "get" was used purposefully here).
